28-3/8" outside to outside of frame rails
(just checked my '71 GMC frame for square, getting ready-to-sandblast it) |

Frame checking dimensions can be found in the factory chassis service manual. See RTFM.

Ok the things that make me question this was the top of the radiator core is bent the hood was replaced and the front fenders had 6+in of bondo in spots and all over the fenders will definitely be checking this

X out the frame body mounts they should be 1/4 " or better these old frames are famous for twist and diagonal shift from even minor accidents or plowing snow with the 4x4s
